Thanks, apparently I am on there. I don't remember how, I never used any of the Adobe crap. Well, changed the password anyway.

If you charge the costs of your pension (I challenge you can make even 5k when you are 80+ years old) and health on society, sure, you can live on that amount.

The only problem I see with this is that it's not cost effective. Make that cheap* and it would be a great innovation. * Maybe you could apply random checks on people and not reach out to them every time? That way they are scared 24&#x

Partially OT: are we still pushing for all this soft fitness stuff? To be fit you have to: exercise regularly, eat well. Easy to say, but it's a mind shift (try doing 1hr of exercise 3 times a week, see how "easy" is to keep

High level? Think about cash flow forecast . How you do this? You need to model your income statement and balance sheet. Start building up assumptions for: sales (duh), accounts receivables, overdues, your cogs, inventory, possible capex i

I work in finance, I toyed with Python and Pandas and CSV files for a while, it won't do. When you get at it, you soon realize that any kind of decision will have to come from high level numbers, no the billions of rows you hear on HN

My pet theory is that to meet great people (dates or not), you need to apply an "antifragile" approach. Basically, lower the cost of an interaction (which is meeting face to face not messaging for days) and meet many. From this pe

Please, go look at the charts of GDP and GDP per capita growth and see it yourself. What we need is growth. Look at our public loans. We have been betting for _decades_ that we would grow more than we are. What do you think will happen if w

Economic growth has historically brought much more wellness and brought up more people from poorness than any kind of State initiative. Let's keep this in mind when reading these news. What we are doing here is saying that taxing more

The problem with Excel is not visualization, it's sharing and updating. If you want to compete in visualization, look at Power Point, not Excel. I really look forward the day somebody tackles the issue of sharing/updating spreadsh

I agree, but: 1. I wanted to make sure I am not just throwing an idea in the wind 2. The problem with couchsurfing now is mainly the poor website experience. I know this does not depend on the tech stack, but it's good to keep this in

I have worked with Excel-based trading systems with tens of thousands of lines of VBA code Having worked with some VBA myself, this sounds like a very, very, scary statement.

Meh. I am in the process of buying a foldable kayak. I plan to kayak in Patagonia in 2015 and I crossed Poland, Austria and Slovakia with a canoe the last 2 years. Point is: my kayak won't fit in a bag. Then what? I should buy and iPho

Uhm, maybe you can still work, I'd try asking one of those agencies. Also, up there they love Americans, so you should have some kind of advantage in that.

Good point, I should have run the numbers. I was thinking on cheap student rents. The temp work idea is still doable, but 2 days was too optimistic, 3 days seems more like it. Before you go on about how expensive DK is. If you cook your foo

I lived up there for a year and half, how are things going in the city? Still no people on the street after 8pm? If you are a EU citizen, it is easy, just get one of those manual jobs with the temp agency. It's paid 10 EUR/hr, it

So, I invest/lend 100. The SME fails. Who is persecuting them? I don't want to chase each failed SME to get the money back. I mean, you still need middle men. Nobody has willing, knowledge or time to rate, follow and persecute a b

This is absolutely not true. People pay taxes in Italy, actually, they have one of the highest tax burden in the world. Do inform yourself a bit on the topic. It's way more complex than you think.
